well yet again ive sent the stickers to the sign writers.. this time ive asked for it to be IDENTICAL to the design and put it in bug huge letters on the back with the info.. so if it isnt the same then i aint paying brother! but dave at work (tarr mate :thumb:) gave them to his father in-law to do as he works there.. so surely they should come out 110% better :thumb:

Their must be someone with an original set about that would get them copied for us instead of these cheap rip off fakes that aint even correct.
lol make me laugh that i have 2 tailgate ones from vaux genuine ones and they are both wrong on the G pmsl
Dave - just read this all the way through - MENTAL - GOOD JOB LAD!
I agree re the GSi badges - ditch them until you can either get a proper set or better still just leave them off.
Keep up the good work matey!
Ade
i think im going to you know ade, as it seems to break the sides up abit too much.. :thumb:
hoping to start prepping the doors and passenger 1/4 panen within the next month or so, get her all sanded down smooth and then its off to my uncles for a full pass side respray and drivers door respray :thumb:
starting the bodywork next week, both doors and rear 1/4 gettinf repaired, filled for the time being. just want it to look decent atm, heres the plan of the panels that are going to be sprayed:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...se_x/mask2.jpg
why not do both sides all the way down?
the drivers rear 1/4 doesnt need spraying, well it does but i dont think its worth it tbh
think its worth getting it done? got a big touch up patch onit about 1x1 inch, think tis worth doing?
i am now doing both doors and both rear 1/4's.... thanks yoza :thumb:, made me realise why i should do it lol
yes that way it will look better,rather than leaving the wing and the 1/4 and other wing.
also you wont notice the colour difference to the bonnet and tailgate like you would panel to panel with the wing and 1/4.
Cant stand painting panel to panel at work it puts me about!!
no problem
the problem areas:
drivers door:
